“The faithful steward will make himself familiar with all the contents of his larder. The larder of Holy Scripture is so extensive, that even a life-time’s arduous study will not fully disclose either its riches or its variety . . . .The systematic preaching of the Word is impossible without the systematic study of it . . . . So the skilled steward sees that his larder is kept well stocked. He will never weary the household with a monotonous menu, nor nauseate them with an insipid diet, nor give them indigestion through unsuitable food. the steward will rather be like the householder whom Jesus described, ‘who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old’ (Matt. 13:52)” (John Stott, The Preacher’s Portrait, pp. 30-32).
